2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E2.1L Diesel

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the pass recorded on 16 July 2025 at 147,903 miles. The maintenance trend is stable with no defects logged across any test in the supplied history. The back-to-back fail and pass in July 2025 at near-identical mileages of 147,900 and 147,903 suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical defect, since the tester recorded no faults on either date. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,377 miles per year against the 13-year-old chassis, a typical figure for this age of executive saloon. The record shows 140,176 miles at the May 2023 test, rising to 143,408 by May 2024 and 147,903 by July 2025. Accumulation is steady at around 3,200 to 4,500 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories on worn tyres, corroded suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items the MOT does not capture in detail. At 147,903 miles the coil springs, anti-roll bar bushes, and binding calipers warrant hands-on checks for fatigue not always flagged in a pass. The repeated fail-with-no-defect pattern in May 2024 and July 2025 implies the previous keeper may have presented the car without correcting a documentation or identification error, so verify V5C and test certificate alignment before purchase.
